Abstract

This paper studied the effect of the chemicals on the diapause termination of the Artemia cysts, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) producing reagent CaO2, reactive nitric species (RNS) producing reagent NO, and antioxidant reagents tea polyphenol (TP) and ascorbic acid (VC). The results showed that all the tested chemicals could significantly promote Artemia cysts development, and the optimum range for CaO2, TP, VC, and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, NO generators) was 38–94, 50–150, 625–2500, and 25–100 mg/L, respectively. The hatching percentage (H %) was raised from 20 % for the control group to 86 % for the CaO2 treated group, 86 % for the TP treated group, 85 % for the VC treated group, and 67 % for the SNP treated group, respectively. An analysis of trehalose consumption and glycerol accumulation of the Artemia cysts was also performed during incubation.
